    2. I'm curious to know if there is any information on Canon Peter O'Leary's lineage regarding his uncle & aunt Richard & Nell O'Leary, who lived in Knockanerribul, Co. Kerry, five miles n/e of Killarney. The Canon's ancestry was basically in Liscarrigane & Mullaroe, Co. Cork, but some of the clan were educated in Killarney. I quote a few excerpts from Canon Peter's "My Story" regarding this Richard & Nell O'Leary. "CONOR & NELL (nee Hickey) O'LEARY and children of Mullaroe - They had five sons & three daughters.One of the daughters, Nell, married a Richard O'Leary, who was living west of Knockanerribul, five miles north-east of Killarney, and another daughter went east to Kanturk, for the purpose of giving her brother assistance at the Latin School" My inquiry has to do with the marriage of Richard & Nell O'Leary and any children of this marriage. Where do I look for their marriage record date, their children's names, if any, and years born? Another question would be what Sept did this Richard belong to, was he a Bhui/Buidhe, who married into the Rioch family? Did he and Nell have a son Michael circa 1830? Since discovering that I am a descendant of the Bhui Sept via a DNA test I am trying to follow up on all the possibilities of which Richard O'Leary was really my grt. grt. grandfather, and where my grt. grandfather Michael was born circa 1831. Currently, all leads indicate that my Richard, b.1795, was the youngest brother of the poet Maire Bhui O'Leary (Burke) of Torreenanean, a town land located west of the O'Leary stronghold in Inchigeelagh, Iveleary, near the River Lee. However, I have not been able to find any records on the birth of Michael in Cork or Kerry, who migrated to Wales during or just after the famine. The UK census records of 1861 - 71 & 81 state that his origin was Kerry, as do family rumors & his obit in 1902 in New Castle, Pennsylvania. However, none of these state that Michael was actually born in County Kerry. Would appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
